In the last five years we lost two towns and part of another. The sand piles along the river bottoms that the flood left were not alowed to be returned to the river even. I know one was sixty ft by four hundred ft and probably four to five feet hugh. That soil had to be hauled off, not pushed back in the river where it came from.
One of the towns was buried across the river and a quarter mile from the river bank right after the flood. After a year with idiots from FEMA the rest had to be hauled thirty five miles away to a land fill. I know of a brand new stainless steel chimney that had never been used was not to be salvaged, but I could not buy into that and it turned up stolen by the time the dozers got there. If folks had not been promised by the politicians that they would get funding for loosing their homes it would not have been so bad. It took two years before the first checks were issued.
A word to the wise that live near a flood prone areas. Of course you want your property taxes lowered or as low as possible. Once a flood comes you will get your wish, your property will be valued --low as you requested.
Years ago rivers were the property markers often, and if the river cut a new chanel, you won more or lost some land. Near a small town, there was a lot of explosions during a flood, so the law had to step in and correct the issue.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
